LOG EXPORT AND SUBSTITUTION RESTRICTIONS:
All timber sales, including timber from Federal rights-of-ways, shall be subject to the restrictions relating to the
export and substitution of unprocessed timber from the United States in accordance with P.L. 94-165 and 43 CFR

CRUISE INFORMATION:
The Douglas-fir up to the 24” diameter class and the grand fir and incense cedar up to the 22” diameter class have
been cruised using the 3P system to select sample trees. The sample trees have been cruised and their volume
computed on form class tables for estimating volume in 16-foot lengths. This volume is then expanded to a total
sale volume. A map showing the location of these sample trees is available at the Roseburg District Office.
The volume of all Douglas-fir trees in the 26” diameter class and larger, the grand fir and incense cedar in the 24”
diameter class and larger, and all other species have been determined by individual tree measurements using a
100% cruise.
With respect to merchantable trees of all species: the average tree is 12.8 D.B.H.O.B., the average log contains
45 bd. ft., the total gross volume is approximately 5,999 M bd. ft., and 92% recovery is expected.
CUTTING AREA: An area of approximately 108 acres is to be variable-retention harvested and 182 acres is to be

A revised Special Provision has been added to the contract which enables the Contracting Officer to
